Ottawa, ON, November 3, 2023

As part of the Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research’s efforts to promote responsible conduct of research (RCR), it is pleased to launch its Travel Grant initiative to promote Canadian attendance at the 8th World Conference on Research Integrity (8WCRI) in Athens, Greece, from June 2-5, 2024.

This Travel Grant initiative will provide researchers, faculty, graduate students and administrators from Canadian institutions with an opportunity to learn more about RCR from an international perspective and engage with leading RCR practitioners from around the world.

Attendees will be expected to disseminate knowledge learned at the Conference to students, faculty and staff at their institutions.

The Travel Grant initiative will offer a maximum of 12 applicants financial assistance to attend the Conference. The Travel Grants will assist with the costs of conference registration, round trip air fare (economy class), and accommodation (single occupancy), up to a maximum of $3,750 (CAD).

Priority will be given to applicants or institutions that have not previously received a WCRI travel grant from the Secretariat.

• Application deadline: January 22, 2024
